Along the lines of a gift that is good for the cat, and also for the cat person, is a cat scratcher toy. I’m not into strenuous exercise or primping, so these cat toys are a good choice for me…or for cats like me. (My favorite is a scratcher bed.)

Cat scratcher toys help your cat keep its claws clean and healthy. Not only that, but the action of digging in and pulling back stretches the muscles to keep your cat limber and flexible.

Cat owners like cat scratchers because they give the cat someplace to scratch other than the furniture. Scratching is a natural and instinctive activity, so it’s not fair to get angry with your cat. Just provide one of these popular cat scratcher toys, and everyone will be happy. What more can you ask for from a Christmas gift?
